Yet, for many girls, the lack of access to sanitary products leads to absenteeism and, in some cases, dropping out of school altogether. By addressing this challenge, FAWE Uganda is breaking down barriers and fostering a future where no girl has to miss school due to her period.<\/p>\n<p>This initiative goes beyond just providing materials; it is about creating awareness, fostering open conversations, and advocating for long-term solutions to menstrual health and hygiene challenges. Through collaboration with stakeholders, educators, and communities, we aim to ensure sustainable support for girls&#8217; education and well-being.<\/p>\n<p>Together, we can make a lasting impact.
